Fuller described the new gig as ‘a dream come true’.

‘My very first experience of Star Trek is my oldest brother turning off all the lights in the house and flying his model of a D7 Class Klingon Battle Cruiser through the darkened halls,’ he said in a statement.

‘Before seeing a frame of the television series, the Star Trek universe lit my imagination on fire.

‘It is without exaggeration a dream come true to be crafting a brand new iteration of Star Trek with fellow franchise alum Alex Kurtzman and boldly going where no Star Trek series has gone before.’

He also shared this great throwback picture to prove that he really does know his stuff.
